      Ford Popular 103E 1953-1959
YES.. built up to 1959... can you believe it!
Based on the pre-war EO4A Anglia, the 103E was Dagenham's rehashed answer to post-war basic transportation.
Offering up 30mpg with 60mph from its 1172cc engine in some considerable discomfort.
Few instruments; a single wiper, feeble headlights, only three gears and NO traffic indicators, so hand signalling required!
Anything to recommend it..... totally indestructible!
Production:  155,340 
 

      Ford Anglia 100E (Dark) 1953-1959
If you ask anyone to draw you a car, they will draw one that looks like this.... a simple three box design.
A competent little motor but still with its antique three speed gearbox.
36bhp. 1172cc. meant you could touch 70mph on the motorways. 
Production  345,841
 

      Ford Prefect 100E  1953-1959
The Anglia's 4 door twin. Same recipe as the 2 door... except for a more expensive grille.
Production  100,554
Prefect 100E above is shown in a Deluxe version with chromed headlight surround and side rubbing strip.
Available in a basic Prefect trim.
 

      Ford Prefect 107E  1959-1961
The posh family Prefect... in twin-tones!
A rare Dagenham Ford with the new 105E 997cc  39bhp engine making it possible to touch 75mph!
Production  38,154
 

      Ford Popular 100E (light) 1959-1962
A stripped down Anglia meant to replace the older 'sit up and beg' model.
Ford's cheap and cheerful motoring for the masses!
Production  126,115
 

      Ford Escort Estate 100E  1955-1961
A conversion of the Thames 5cwt van with additional windows and seats.
Mechanically the same as the Anglia 100E.
Production 33,131
 
 

      Ford Anglia 105E  1959-1967
A radical departure visually for the new Anglia with its unmistakable 'notchback' rear window inspired by the Lincoln Continental.
39bhp spelt 75mph in favourable conditions.
Alas it was cursed with the suspension from the earlier 100E which could catch out the unwary at high speeds.
Rust has taken its toll over the years and although it sold over a million, few survive to tell their tale.
Production  1,083,960
 

      Ford Anglia Estate 105E  1960-1967
All models available in light or dark shading.
 

       Ford Consul  mkII  204E  1956-1962
A great deal of metal for your money....Big, brash and very transatlantic in style.
American glamour comes to 50's Britain.
 Alas only 4 cylinders and 1703cc to play with... but they looked good on your driveway.
Production  371,585

       Ford Zephyr  mkII  206E  1956-1962
The same transatlantic recipe as the Consul, but six cylinders and 2553cc under the bonnet now.
Just what the doctor ordered... with over 90mph possible on the newly opened M1.  'We'd never had it so good.'
Production for Zephyr & Zodiac.  294,506
 

       Ford Zodiac mkII  1956-1962  (dark on light)
If you had a Zodiac, you were thought to be somebody with money!
Our next door but one neighbour had one... but he was a bookie!
Moral.... don't gamble!
 

       Ford Zodiac mkII  1956-1962  (light on dark)
Rust has decimated the ranks of these barges and good ones are hard to find today.
 

 

 Ford  300E Thames van

Ford  400E Thames van
 
 
 

   Ford Cortina mk1  3/5 door 118E  1962-1966
Enter the Cortina... the 'Doctor Who' of the motoring world.
A revelation when it first appeared to a public weaned on Morris Minors and Standard 8's.
Four speed 'all syncro' boxs, five bearing engines, Aeroflow ventilation, and all in a design that didn't look post war.
It was a car designed for those 'swinging 60's'
A real plus was that they didn't rust away in-front of your eyes as a Vauxhall Victor did!
Production   933,143
 

Ford Lotus Cortina mk1  1963-1966
Ford wanted a more sporty image for its family saloons for the 60's
so a deal was struck with Colin Chapman at Lotus for the new Cortina. 
Ford provided the 2 door body shell to Lotus who installed its own 105bhp twin-cam engine. 108 mph... but only 21 mpg!
Always cream with a green side flash along the flanks, they were a sensation from the word go!
Highly sort after these days as not many around.
Production  3,301

Ford  Cortina mk1 Cabrio
As rare as hen's teeth!
 

Ford Cortina mkII 1966-1970
The Cortina's first visit for 'nip & tuck' surgery and although bigger all round... what emerged was a bit on the bland side.
Out went the 1200/1500 and in came the 1300/1600.... exciting stuff!
Production 846,650
 

Ford Cortina mkII 1600E  1967-1970
 Ford struck gold however with the 1600E (E for Executive). 88bhp GT engine with lowered Lotus suspension.
Wood dash, quad lights, Rostyle alloys, leather -rimmed steering wheel, reversing lights... the list went on.
Basically it was loaded with goodies and sold in shed-loads. Very collectable today!
Production for 1600E   60,087
 
 

Ford Lotus Cortina mkII  1967-1970

Lotus asked to work their magic once more on a Cortina.
Power up to 109bhp so slightly quicker.
Build along side the ordinary Cortina at Dagenham this time round
so not seen to be quite as Lotus authentic as the Mk 1.... so less desirable!
Production  4,032

Ford Lotus Cortina Convertible mkII

An engaging little beast.... if you can find one!
 

    Ford Cortina mkIII  1970-1976
Given the 'Detroit' look from the pen of Ford's Harley Copp and arguably the best looking Cortina built.
Appreciably bigger than the mkII and a runaway success from day one.
A million seller, and easy to see why.... remember, you could have had an Allegro!
Production  1,126,559
 

Ford Cortina mkIV  1976-1982
The last body shape to carry the Cortina name.
There was a mkIV and a near identical mkV both designed by Uwe Bahnsen.
This was Ford's 'Euro' box as it was virtually identical to its German cousin the Ford Taunus.
The Ford 'repmobile' in excelsis, it shifted 1,131,850 units in its six year life.
And thus ended the Cortina saga!
 
 

Ford Granada mk1 saloon   1972-1976
   Large 'American style' replacement for the Zodiac.
V4 and V6 engines gave plenty of straight line power but cornering at speed was entertaining to say the least.
Became well known through their use in the TV series 'The Sweeny'. 
 

Ford Granada mk1 Coupe
Extremely rare even in their day, and good ones now make very desirable models to own.
 
 

Ford Escort mk1  1968-1974
Always recognised by its cute dog-bone front grille,
the new Escort was the replacement for the 105 Anglia and became an instant sales success
though the 'coke bottle' styling was a bit bland.
1100 and 1300cc engines. Good examples quite sort after these days.
Production  1,076,118
 
 

Ford Escort mk1 Mexico / RS1600  1970-1974
First of the hairy Escorts.
The Mexico was named in honour of Ford's victory in the London - Mexico Rally
and was soon followed by the more extreme RS1600 with 110bhp on tap.
Raucous cars, they helped to bolster even more Fords worldwide rallying success .
Good for 100mph+ ...115 in the RS if you dare!  A boy racers delight!
Production.  Mexico 9,382    RS1600  947
 
 

    Ford Capri mk1 series 1  1969-1974
'The car you always promised yourself' announced Ford in a blaze of publicity hype!
A scaled down Euro version of the hugely successful American Mustang and a smash hit this side of the Atlantic too.
L, XL, GT, GXL... the range (26) was endless. You could dress up a humble1.3 litre (61 bhp) to look like a fire eating road monster. 
 If you choose the 1600cc model 100mph was just about possible and with front discs able to stop it!
Production of mk1  374,092
 

Ford Capri mk1 (hand coloured example)
 

Ford Capri mk1 series 2
Now with a 'power bulge' in the bonnet and a bit of fiddly detail tinkering!
 

    Ford Capri mk1 series 2  (single lights)

    Ford Capri mk1 RS
  German built car with a Harry Westlake fuel injected
V-six of 150bhp under the bonnet.  Very desirable.
 
 

Ford Capri mkII  1974-1978

(available with or without a vinyl roof)   
It may have look the same, but not a single body panel from the mk1 remained.
Now, in keeping with the times, a hatchback with a slightly shorter bonnet.
Vinyl roofing was all the vogue and the Capri was no exception to this rule as many were turned out in this fashion.
 
All Capri models may be ordered with your correct alloys...
but I would first require an emailed photo to see the style.
 

Ford Capri mkIII  1978-1986
The last of the series and some would argue the best.
A very stylish hatchback body.  Larger engined examples used extensively in club racing.
German made 280 Brooklands run-out model the pick of the bunch.
Production  324,045
 

Ford Sierra 4x4
The Cortina replacement and not Ford's finest hour in the design studio.
The 'jelly mould'  look took some time to be accepted by the general public and many were never really convinced
as the sales figures showed for it's 5 year run compared to the Cortina.
Production  467,900
 
 

Sierra Cosworth
Awesome, and not to be taken lightly.
A joy-riders dream come true!
